But what about the slippery slope? Once the Feds start regulatin’ assault weapons, the next step is takin’ away ALL of our firearms. If you don’t believe that, just look at automobiles. It was only a few years after the Government started with this whole “registration” business that they started up with speed limits,…

Thank you for mentioning this! As was I was reading this I couldn't help but think how implicit biases MAKE us women into pushovers

This is disrespectful to chimpanzees.

And before anyone asks, yes, what I am proposing is more restriction on all firearm purchases. Longer waiting periods, more extensive background checks, more paperwork, local/state/federal databases, banning all personal sales of firearms (must be done through a FFL and all info forwarded to said databases), [edited…

THIS is the argument I’ve had with those who I consider NOT my friends (also know as the “An AR doesn’t do that much damage” cuntbags). I work in Emergency Medicine and believe me, If I had to (touch wood) be shot with a gun and a choice, I’d go handgun/pistol all the way. That’s repairable (mostly; unless someone has…

It’s a teenie, tiny step....

I look forward to an even longer filibuster when republicans fuck it all up. Woooooo.

Let us all note that the frog on the left does not look disappointed in what he\she is finding...

This is how you know Blake Lively was a mean girl in high school. Because she thinks up shit like “meaty eyelids.”
